Why Nakatomi holds bearer bonds has been a debated issue with the bonds in question having been issued in 1979, it is possible that the Nakatomi Corporation could have been continuing to hold them solely for favorable tax treatment. However in 1988, bearer bonds were widely considered a questionable form of investment. Furthermore, whomever Nakatomi Corporation received these funds from would not need to have been recorded in any type of tax ledger. So while it is pure speculation, it brings into question what type of business Nakatomi may have been involved in, such that they would receive bearer bonds as a form of payment and in such a large sum; $640 million dollars. Lastly, were anyone (Hans Gruber) to find out these bearer bonds we're being held in the vault, they would be an obvious target for theft. The US government has to honor the issues regardless of who is holding them, one could easily question the Nakatomi Corporation's motives for holding and/or using bearer bonds during the course of regular business.
